New heart zapping technique could be safer for AF patients
NCT ID NCT07601763
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new procedure called pulsed field ablation (PFA) to standard treatment for atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem that raises stroke risk. About 1,574 adults who need catheter ablation will be randomly assigned to receive PFA or standard care. The goal is to see if PFA is safer and better at preventing irregular heartbeats from returning within a year.
